Jennifer Whitmore: Schools are getting ready to close for the summer but yet again, in County Wicklow, a number of students and children do not have places for September. I am aware of seven in Greystones. A small number in Newtownmountkennedy and Ashford do not have places for September either. This is a problem every year. It is really unfair on students.

You can tell it is a huge part of who he is, and I look forward to working with him over the term of this Dáil to see what we can achieve in this regard.

Delivering a World-Class Education System: Statements (22 May 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank my colleague for sharing her time with me, especially when she has such valuable insight to give and so much to say on the issue.

Jennifer Whitmore: I want to raise with the Minister of State today the issue of the immigrant investor fund and the difficulties faced by a number of charities as a result of delays in funding.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (22 May 2025)

Gaza: Motion (28 May 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: It is really hard to find the right words to say about Gaza now. Week after week, month after month, we have seen the most awful and horrific actions and destruction happening in Gaza and it is just getting worse and worse.

The EPA report today states that even if every one of the Government's plans and policies was implemented, this would only meet 23% of our emissions target reductions. We are meant to be meeting 51%.
